Red Bull Racing forces the opening race in Austria for its own sake'

Formula 1 finally seems to start a race in Austria at the beginning of July and Red Bull is doing everything in its power to get the circuit ready. Helmut Marko is in the front line to suggest all kinds of plans to be able to race anyway and the French AutoHebdo is noticing that now. According to the French magazine there is also a bit of own interest in this.

Own interest of Red Bull

Forcing an opening race in Austria indicates that Red Bull knows they have a strong car for that season. Formula 1 itself has been overwhelmed with the idea of starting as early as July and the organisation will have a hard time getting a season off the ground with more than fiveteen races', it says.

AutoHebdo is therefore not satisfied with the risk that will probably be taken here. Public opinion will speak out very loud if there will be racing in Austria in the near future, with all its consequences. They will have to test day and night for the coronavirus to get it safe and for that you will have to have a very strict safety protocol', concludes the statement.
